Cooking Test.... Did a real cooking test today with 4 premade 15% fat hamburger patties. Normally, I wouldn't cook premade hamburger, especially not 15% fat, but I knew these would be greasy and give a good test of the grill's flare-up potential. Fired all 6 burners (all converted to LP) on...

The VW Pickup.... Wonder why you didn't get them as Utes? Seems like they would have sold very well. Their world-wide name is "Caddy," but in the US, they were just called Pickups. They were hugely popular and still have a large cult following, as they are very rare now. They were all built...

Slower..... That's sort of my take when using my in-law's for the first time. It took much longer to get hot initially, and then longer to recover from me opening the lid and putting the steaks on, and then I was kinda standing around twiddling my thumbs waiting for side 1 to get good enough...

Testing..... I've got 4 of the 6 burners up and running (waiting on parts for the other 2) with the flavorizer bars, and cast iron grates on. I removed the 90 degree elbo, NG regulator and pipe from the back, popped on a 3/4"pipe x 3/8"flare 90 degree elbow and a $17 BBQ propane hose w/...

My model Here is my exact grill, except my lid is gray. Inexpensive, bulletproof, cooks like a dream..........but they all do. There's no standing there babysitting the meat, no having a spray bottle handy or EVER using one. Just fire it up on high, let it run for 5min, brush off the grates...

And one that's an even better deal. You can't go wrong with these Weber Gas models. Just inspect them for warped or broken grills, which indicates someone's been cooking or running them at a million degrees. The new grill grates are probably $75ish for cast iron. Then pop the grates out and...

Here's another great deal on one and it's propane. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/fuo/2242000803.html

Called Wolf this morning and spoke with their tech dept. I was very nice about it, and told them upfront this was a used purchase and I wasn't after any sort of warranty, but I just wanted to give them a heads up on how bad the system is. The guy was very nice, but I could tell there was a...

IMO, there's just a huge design flaw in everything other than the Webers. The other stuff looks fantastic sitting in the store for sale, but just a joke to cook on. For 2 years my in-laws milked their costco model. Everytime they'd use it, I'd eventually hear or be brought home a sample of...

Ralph hooked me up! I did get, yesterday while chatting about my freezer. I'm going to call them and see if I can get one for the freezer. Thanks for checking in!

LOL.....I can just see she-who-must-be-obeyed having a meltdown because of her stupid blue appliances, and horrid wood grain cabinets. Hope those find a cool new home!

My Weber is similar to yours, but 3 burner. I like the 3 burner models because you can turn off that center burner and cook indirect. Same as you, I replaced the original porcelain-enameled flavorizer bars with the stainless versions, and scored a new set of cast iron grills locally on CL for...

Yeah, after getting up close and personal, I'm not feeling the love. Couple other things I'm not liking (so far): -On the Webers, there's a cross-over tube between all the burners. So one burner is lit by the ignitor, and the other burners auto light, just by turning on their gas...

Got a chance take the burner area apart today to asses the condition of things. 2 of the rotary ignitors (the black knobs on the front panel are rotated clockwise in order to trigger the ignitors and light the burner tubes to the left and right of the black knob) are bad. 5 of the ignitors are...

LOL........the place next door Very observant!! It's a kit house from 1947/48. It may be one of those kit homes that were so popular back east....the famous ones? I can never remember the name. The original owners lived in it their entire lives, including raising a son and daughter, whom...

Great! Thanks for his number!!

First I have to figure out how to unload it!! Although.....gravity should make it easier than the loading process. BTW, all the knobs are present. I just removed 2 so my tie-down strap didn't break them. I'll get it polished up for you, and get the grills seasoned nicely. Mmm....what to...

The endless summer heater appears to have a fault in how the pilot flame is shrouded. So if yours gets to the point where it will no longer stay lit because the thermocouple is cooling off and letting go of the magnetic valve in the gas valve assembly, the shroud has probably failed. You can...

Yeah, I hit my gasket with 3M adheasive cleaner, and followed that up with Simple Green. Came out like yours. FWIW, I would have used a tooth brush and simple green on your handle grooves. Can you post the # for Modern Parts. If he has a gasket, I'd buy it as I plan to keep this freezer...

Definately missed thread and wow....nice job, both on the save, and on cleaning it up! My door gasket was similarly "goopy" but not torn. It'd be cool to find a new gasket for mine though.
